Business Outlook

Pros

The Founder had great ideas, a vision for the future, and built a company that supported employees to enable them to do their jobs and encouraged innovation. Pay was adequate, low for Silicon Valley, but employee stock purchase opportunities and option grants were good, and sabbaticals were regularly scheduled.

Cons

As the company became more mature, the vision was lost, most of the new hires came fresh from Business School with a goal of resumé building. Rather than engage with the company, these employees looked to climbing the ladder up and out, and treated their jobs and co-workers as temporary, but aggressively sought recognition and remuneration.

Startup got acquired.. eBay is a typical big company, ultra-slow to move and therefore stuck in the past.

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary is acceptable. The campus is conveniently located. The benefits are adequate. Generous combination of 401k matching, bonus, stock, and ESPP.

Cons

Parking is tight. Space in general is tight. There is effectively no choice in health insurance, with Kaiser being the only HMO and only one PPO and one CDHP plan. Upper management is profoundly ignorant of its employees: would you acquire a startup without at least talking to the most highly compensated workers in addition to the founders? The HR/security/stock/accounting systems are disparate. MS Exchange is the corporate email standard, with all the limitations that implies. Several MILLION lines of Java in the codebase, with no hope of changing. The performance review process is from the '90s, managers review their subordinates, full stop. Bonus, stock, and ESPP are all on a protracted 7-14 month schedule, slow moving like everything else.
